Hospitality Operations

Unique Hospitality Challenges

Restaurant and bar owners face a number of challenges to protect their profitability and compliance with liquor laws.  Solutions in todays market merely report what owners already know – there is a discrepancy between what they should have in inventory and what they actually have at the end of each shift.  Weight sensors and pour trackers may give you more precision about the inventory deviation, but they are expensive and do not tell you the one thing that can fix it – who took the missing inventory?

Best in class operators are also looking for solutions that can help drive better customer satisfaction. How long have customers been seated prior to a server taking an order? How long in between server visits? Measuring and improving these behaviors is proven to increase revenue and lifetime value of patrons.
